Quinoa with Mushrooms and Vegetables

When my family was visiting a few weeks ago we visited Whole Foods main store in Austin. It's huge and is a special treat for me! I was able to find a number of things I haven't been able to find where we live. All around the store there are racks with recipe ideas and this recipe was adapted from one of those sheets. My mom and I made it for dinner while they were here and it was a big hit. Quinoa with Mushrooms and Vegetables1 cups dry quinoa2 cups fresh shitake mushrooms, chopped2 peppers, chopped1 onion, chopped2 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons sesame oil3 teaspoons liquid aminos2 teaspoons rice vinegarIn a large skillet heat the sesame oil and saute the onions, mushrooms, and peppers until caramelized. Add the garlic. Add the liquid aminos and rice vinegar. Add 2 cups of water to deglaze the pan. Increase heat and cook until the pan is almost dry. Remove the mixture and set aside.

Rinse out the pan and add 1 cup of quinoa and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce to a simmer. Cook until done, about 15 minutes. When the quinoa is done stir in the vegetables and serve! Enjoy!!Question of the Day: Have you ever made a recipe from a store suggestion rack?

Welcome to the place where I share things about yoga, health, nutrition, and anything else that comes to me. I am a yoga teacher and love every minute of my job. I started practicing yoga in Washington, DC when I was in college. It was the perfect way to balance the stress that came with school. After I graduated I moved to Albuquerque, NM. I spent a few months trying out different types of yoga before I found Prana Flow, Vinyasa Flow. I did my teacher training with Maria Garre. During teacher training I was introduced to Ayurveda. I've found my passion in a combination of yoga, health, nutrition, and cooking. This is the space I've created to share what I've learned with the rest of the world. Thanks for joining me!
